The task of calling on every farmer in a county and collecting- the information for such a directory is a tre- mendous one. We have received splendid co-operation from the farmers and business men of the county, with- out which the publication of such a directory would be impossible. In a very few cases we have found farmers unwilling to give the information requested, which ac- counts for a few^ names that do not appear. A few mistakes are bound to occur in a directory that involves so large an amount of work, but we have spared no effort or expense to make the information complete and accurate, and we believe that the mistakes are very few. W^e want to speak a word of appreciation for the ad- vertisers whose liberal support has helped materially to bear the heavy expense of publishing this directory, and ask that you favor them with your patronage whenever possible. We hope and believe that the publication of this directory will be a real service to Stephenson county farmers and in line with Prairie Farmer's policy of service to the farmers of Illinois. We hope that the increased circula- tion of Prairie Farmer in Stephenson county which has re- sulted will help in the movement for better farming, bet- ter farm living, and more prosperity for the county, and that our many new friends will become permanent mem- bers of the big Pr.\irie Farmer family.

"WE ARE FAMILY"*: VALUING ASSOCIATIONALISM IN DISPUTES OVER CHILDREN'S SURNAMES MERLE H. WEINER** An increasingvolume of litigation has arisen between divorced or separated parents concerning the surnames of their minor children. For example, a newly divorced mother will sometimes petition the court to change her child's surnamefrom the surname of the absent father to the mother's birth surname or her remarried surname. Courts adjudicating such petitions usually apply one of three standards: a presumption favoring the status quo, a "best interest of the child" test, or a custodial parent presumption. In this Article, Professor Merle Weiner argues that all three of these standards are flawed-either in their express requirements or in their application by the courts-because they reflect men's conception of surnames and undervalue associationalistprinciples. After setting forth her feminist methodology, Professor Weiner explores the differences between men's and women's experiences with their own surnames.
